Inc Last Letter Written by the Deceased
Addressed to Charleston Lady and
Left Unfinished Rev, DIR. Joseph
Parker, OF the London City Temple,
Pays An Eloquent Tribute to the
Sleeping American.
NEW YORK, March 9.-During this af-
ternoon CARLOAD after CARLOAD of flowers,
plants, palms and evergreens were driven
up to the doors of Plymouth church, and
all through the night small army ofmen,
under direction of the sexton, were en-
ployed in arranging the decorations, The
wish Of Mr.. Beecher that his funeral
ceremonies might be conducted amid
flowers and not amid black drapery, will
be literally fulfilled.
THE AsT LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Maroh 9.-The New
York Times publishes the following:
Tine last thing Mr. Beecher wrote was
letter, yet unfinished, to a lady in Charles
ton, S. o., who had written to him in
quiring about Bible which she had heard
he had. Last Wednesday night Mr..
Beecher began the letter. He wrote a
page, turned 1t over and had written three
lines on the next page, when he seems to
have been interrupted. The letter lay on
his desk as he lett it until Sunday, when
Maj. Pond put it away. 1t had not been
addressed. What he wrote explains why
he had been addressed by the lady:
DEAR MADAM-When j was in Charleston.
in 1865 an old negro came to ne with Bible,
which he SAID he had rescued from q burning
house. The peculiar circumstances related

DIR. PARKER's BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE.
LONDON, March 9.-Rev. DIR. Joseph
Parker, pastor of the CiGy Temple, whose
guest Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was
during his recent visit here, publishes a
tributeto Mr.. Beeeher's momory. In this
he says: "We who have bowed with him
in prayer know with what might of hui
mility, ponitenoe and love he stormed the
kingdom Of Heaven. His moral fearless
ness was consistent throughout. 1t was
in vain to threaten Beecher. He having
made up his mind, no Luther was better
prepared to face loss, infamy or destltu-
tion. L never heard him say one
unkind word of anyone. My
house is larger and brighter because
Beeoher tarred there. Beecher and his
wife used to call themselves two old folks.
Verify they might have been young
lovers, so devoted were they to one an
other. / wish to be at Beecher's grave
in spirit to take one short look at the
place where his body lies, and thereafter
to look steadily upward TO the heaven to
which he has assembled"

RANDALL IN NO DANGER,
His Election Certain Despite Gerry
Wandering Schemes.

His Election Certain Despite Gerry
Wandering Schemes.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-There Is not
much stock taken here In the report from
Pennsylvania that the Republicans in the
Legislature of that State are going to
legislate Samuel j. Randall out of the Fifth
eth Congress. There is such close aIli-
ance between Randall and the Camerons,
and he is regarded as such an I'M portant
man by the Republicans and especially
the ProhibitionIsts OF Pennsylvania, that
it Is highly improbable they will prevent
his reelection by any change in the Con-
gressional District OF Philadelphia. 1t is
known that Don Cameron personally sub.
scribed $4,000 to Mr.. Randall's campaign
expenses in the last election.
MIR. Randall will have some
fifty Democratic mem bers TO
act in harmony with him in tariff mat
ters in the next Congress-, and he is likely
TO exercise larger influence there than
he has done heretofore. His district may
be changed, but there is no reason to be-
lieve that he VIII be deprived of a re-elec-
tion; on the contrary, it may be regarded
as positive that the Republicans VIII
make his return certain in some way.

"wE ARE IN NEW YORK"
Robert Garrett has been seen since 10
O'CLOCK to-day, and the statement in the
New York Times was read by him. He
still persisted that he has nothing to say
about the deal. 1t is stated, however, by
one TO whom Mr.. Garrett talked, that he
used the expression, "We are in New
York." The excitement increases be-
cause of the refusal of Mr.. Garrett to
speak. Most careful inquiry cannot dis
cover that the city authorities have been
consulted, though it owns more than one
nth OF the entire stock of the Baltimore
and OHIO railroad. The city, with Johns
Hopkins University and the Garrett
family own majority of the stock. III
telegraphic circles there appears as much
ignorance of what has been going on as
elsewhere. People here think the deal
has been effected.
GARRETT TO BE THE HEAD.
BALTIMORE, March s, 9,10p.m.-While to-
night the general impression here is that
some sort of arrangement has been made
Tor the surrender OF the control of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, it Is posi-
lively stated by a gentleman who is near
to MI. Garrett that no agreement or con-
tract exists for such a transfer. He at
the same time stated that syndicate
will probably be formed, of which
hr. Garrett will be member,
for the working Of snch a railroad system
as is spoken of. He further said that
there is no law to prevent the voting by
proxy of the shares owned by the Garrett
family and enough of others to make ma
Jorlty of the stock tor any deal the road
authorities may deem desirable. He also
said that $3.50 per share had before been
offered and refused for the transfer of 8
majority Of the stock.
TWO OFFERS DECLINED.
1t was said this evening that an offer of
$6,0O00O0 had been made for the Baltimore
and Obio's telegraph system, and $4,000
900 for the express business, both of which
had been declined. The determined re.
fusal Of Mr.. Garrett to confirm or deny
any OF the statements which have been
made leaves the people in anxiety. Those
who have always been stanch friends of
the Baltimore and Ohio road will not be-
lieVe that any transfer of the control OF
the road has been or will be made.
TAKING UP THE PRIVILEGES.
PHILADELPHIA, March 9.-The Record
tomorrow, In speaking OF the Baltimore
and Ohio ''deaI," will say: "An import
ant meeting of the Adams Express
officials and others was held in this city
yesterday, and it was learned that the
following interests were represented:
The Western Union Telegraph Company,
Adams Express Company and the Pull
man Palace Car Company. These COR
porations are stated to be interested in
the deal, and will as their share in it take
the express, telegraphio and palace car
privileges of the Baltimore and Ohio sys-
TENS, thus removing the most formidable
opposition these different interests now
rave, by doing which they will ultimate
ly get back all they will invest in the
deal"

Archbishop Of Quebec ON this subject,

BULLETS AT MII.LEN.
"A Hickory Stick and "a Pistol Used
With Bad Effect.

MrLLEN, GA, March 9.-fhis morning
Col. Haddon was sitting In Perkins drug
store, at this place, talking with some
gentlemen, when Mr.. Wells, also OF MIL
len, entered, and, without any warning,
assaulted him with hickory stick. After
being separated Col. Haddon stepped to
the back part of the store, and seeing u
pistol on the desk picked itup and opened
fire on Mr.. Wells, firing two shots, one
taking effect In and passing through his
right shoulder. The other shot struck a
show case, then a suspender buckle, and
fell harmless to the floor. This latter
shot would have struck the heart, or very
near 1t, had 1t not struck the show case.
Col. Haddon is pretty badly used up about
the head from blows inflicted with the
stick. Mr.. Wells is not thought to be
dangerously woundad. Bad feeling has
existed between them for some time,
